Looking at buying a 7.62 rifle. I like the scar 17, seems like a pretty good platform can I build a superior ar10 for less? If so what should I be looking at?
You could always go full space gun with an MDR
I think he wants something reliable.
prices on 17s right now are through the roof. You could build 4 AR10s for the cost of one scar.
Sold Scars ? Link ?
I was going to post about how heavy SCARs are, but I thought they were more than 8 lbs? Hard pass for me either way and AR 10 all day long.
The rifle itself is lightweight, it's all the junk people usually have hanging off them that makes them heavy. I'd wager most AR-10s are heavier.
Then again it all depends on how the AR 10 is set up.
If you want lightweight you may want to check out the POF revolution.

One thing to be aware of if building an AR-10 is there is no mill-spec standard and parts compatibility is all over the place.
